I'm currently in China for a business trip, GuangDong area...yes, this is a BIG THING in China right now. Our CM usually pick up & drop me from hotel to factory with Toyota. They now using GM cars to avoid the protestors. We also stay away from Japanese restaurants as well.

All canon DSLR's are made in Japan..... but certainly some parts are made elsewhere. i hope not in China.

Check out the battery in your DSLR. Made in China. So are many non critical parts. Canon keeps assembly and manufacturer of the critical parts in Japan, but not the stuff that is easy to make and not high tech.
